SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters APatent No. 293,093, dated February 5, 1884.

applicano mea Auguste, 19m. (No modela T1) @ZZ whom, it may concern:

Be it knownthat I, JOHN SANDILNDs, a citizen of the Kingdom of Great Britain, residing in the city and county of San Francisco, State of California, have made and `invented certain new and useful Improvements in Scarf- Retainers; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exactV description of my said invention, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure l is a view of a scarf with my device applied. Fig.'2 is a perspective view of my device detached.

i My invention relates to scarf iastenings or devices for retaining gentlemens scarfs and other `neckovear in position.

The obj ect of myimproveinent is to produce a simple, effective, and inexpensive device for this purpose, which is readily applied to neck- Wear of all styles and kinds, and when so applied does not add to the bulk or thickness of the material at the neck to any objectionable amount or degree.

The plate a is formed of thin sheet-brass, and is set upon an offset portion, ce- A button-hole slot, b, with an enlarged opening, b', is formed in the portion ato allow the passage of the button or stud. Needleholes c are provided around the offset portion a', to facilitate attachment. To fix this plate as well as to hold it in suitable position on the frame or stiff body of a made-up scarf, I form a tongue or extension, af, upon the bottom end of the plate a, and in this extension I -place the needle-holes C C. This lower part of the plate is then bent in at and across a line just below the button-hole b, so that the plate ci sets out from the surface against which the lower part, a', is placed. The amount of this bend or offset d is sufficient to give room for the head of the stud or button behind it.`

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

The hereindescribed fastening device for attachment to .neck-wear, consisting of the plate a, provided with the button-hole slot Z) b', and an offset portion, a', for attachment to the scarf, as set forth.
